mallory09 's review for:
The Rose Society
by Marie Lu
This book was good but not great for me. I do love that Adelina is so different than what you'd expect a main character to be. She's not a heroine out to save lives and make people happy. She is dark and getting darker, definitely a villain in the making, which is such an interesting twist for this kind of story.
I did find myself bored by much of the book. I read this book on my kindle every night right before going to sleep, so my boredom with those parts may just have been because of the time of day I was reading them, but I found myself getting lost during those fight and battle sequences.
My favorite part of the entire book was the last page, when Adelina has achieved and gotten everything she was fighting for, at the cost of everyone who was on her side and cared about her.
"This is what I have fought so hard for, what I sacrificed and bled so much for. This is everything I ever wanted- revenge against my enemies for what they've done to me. And I've achieved it. My revenge is complete.
I force a smile onto my face. In the silence, I sit alone on my throne and wait eagerly for all the satisfaction and triumph to hit me. I wait, and wait, and wait.
But it doesn't come."
This quote gave me chills!!!
